When she tempts - gabrielle sands

Shes eighteen.

Innocent.

Forbidden.

Martina De Rossi is off-limits, and not just because her brother is about to become the Don.

When I agree to protect her while hes out waging a brutal war, it isnt only out of loyalty.

Its because Martina is the perfect pawn in my game of revenge.

Unfortunately, shes also temptation personified.

Innocent eyes.

A body to die for.

Silky blond hair that begs to be wrapped around my fist.

Im a master of staying in control, but with each day she spends with me inside the walls of my remote Italian castle , I can feel my resolve cracking.

My gaze starts to drift.

My touch starts to linger.

And when she tempts, I realize this game were playing might be one I wont win.
